Testimonials

We stayed in Hotel Montjola last winter and had a fabulous week. We were lucky to have a huge dump of snow during our stay so enjoyed great skiing conditions. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable, the food was fantastic with a good choice every evening. All the staff were friendly, helpful and friendly. A fab week in St Anton.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Ant, Katy and Katie on the VIP cookery course in Morzine. They managed to pack a huge amount in to one week and we learnt so much from them! The balance of demos, practical, individual and group work was spot on and they made the entire time there thoroughly enjoyable. I feel SO much more confident about my cooking ability and would recommend the course to anyone!!

We absolutely loved the cookery course that Katy, Katie and Ant held. We had a lot of fun and enhanced hosting skills and food preparation. Would totally recommend it to those who are looking for a good cooking education (from the very basic skills, to the far more intricate dishes) and to build their cooking confidence for the upcoming season. Everyone was very approachable which meant all participants could ask questions in a relaxed environment, making the entire experience a pleasure.

Really amazing from start to finish. Learnt absolutely loads everyday. Katy, Katie and Ant were brilliant and really supportive. Crammed so much into a short time. Going home with lots of new found confidence and skills. Thanks guys!!!

Had a fantastic time on the vip cookery course! Ant, Katie and Katy were amazing and taught us very well. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who lacks confidence in cooking.

I went into this week with only a limited knowledge of what to expect from a season hosting for VIP, and a decidedly vague idea of how to cook. I have returned more excited than ever to join the team and with cookery skills that make my previous attempts look like a series of tasteless jokes. This is to the credit of the team VIP have in place and with the careful oversight of Emily, operation 'master chef' ran like clockwork from transfer to transfer. The course itself was taken under the tutelage of Ant, Katy and Katie. Ant started the week by happily dicing onions at the speed of light, with a knife the size of my forearm whilst looking around the group explaining the process and seemingly unaware of what he was doing - At this stage I had a feeling there was much to be learnt. The level of skill to live up to was quickly corroborated by both Katies and can only be described as real good. Thankfully, my intimidation was short lived as it soon became apparent that their skill as Chefs was only to be matched by their skill as teachers and by the end of the session I was chopping up veg like it owed me money. The learning curve was steep and with each morning and afternoon session a new skill was added, with the immediate opportunity to practice and develop said skill. Everything that I could have possibly thought of had been covered and any question I posed no matter how basic or complicated was swiftly answered. This was extended to questions regarding the life as a chalet host and when the evening meal was completed the best answers became a demonstration. The group who I was lucky enough to go out with got on like a chalet on fire (thankfully despite a few smoke alarms we actually managed to avoid this being too literal) and really were the icing on the cake. From a wine induced viewing of Tangled to white water rafting, there was never a dull moment and I hope to meet many more characters like them whilst on the slopes. I cannot recommend the entire experience more highly to any party, either looking to brush up on their skills, join the VIP team or simply enjoy an incredible holiday. I look forward to seeing everyone again come winter.

Thank you so much to the VIP staff who ran the amazing cooking course. The entertaining Antony, Katie and Katie made it an incredible experience. I learnt so much and I had no idea there was so many different ways to cut vegetables! I feel confident enough to go on the Great British bake off and cook anyone a three course meal to impress. It was a great crowd of people with a lot of kitchen banter. The white water rafting was huge fun and a great contrast to our busy schedule in the kitchen. Thank you also to Emily for organising such an informative course and week to remember. I hope to see some of the cooking crew in the Alps this winter.

I had a brilliant time in Morzine doing the cookery course getting taught by Ant, Katy and Katie . They were really good at teaching us different skills and ways of cooking different food. They were really good fun to work with and I learnt loads from them. Thank you so much totally recommend this course to build confidence.
